The Bose-Eistein condensate
Article Abstract:
The realization of the Bose-Einstein condensate, which will advance knowledge in quantum behavior, was brought about by the advances in the development of the atom trap and laser cooling. Laser cooling was significantly instrumental in the research since it allowed the atom to slow down to the point where it forms a condensate with other similar atoms.

Coming in from the cold: the long-sought Bose-Einstein condensate turns up
Article Abstract:
Colorado scientists successfully created the first Bose-Einstein condensate in Jun. 1995. This marks the first verification of physicist Satyendra Nath Bose's and Albert Einstein's theory that a 'quantum ice cube' could be created by cooling a dense gas to temperatures slightly above absolute zero.

Bose knows P.R
Article Abstract:
Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman became famous after producing the Bose-Einstein condensate, in which the atoms function as one large atom. Several universities and laboratories have asked the researchers to present lectures, but the public-relations effort has reduced their research time.
